Bone Density Testing (DXA, DEXA)

A dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is a means of measuring bone mineral density which helps measure bone loss. This service is used to diagnose osteoporosis and to assess an individual's risk for developing fractures. DXA is a simple, accurate and non-invasive means to detecting osteoporosis.

Clinical Research and Trials

Our providers work closely with medical researchers to allow patients access to new and emerging therapies through clinical trials. In addition to physicians, our research division consists of experienced clinical researchers and assistants that are committed to the investigation of new ways to treat auto-immune diseases.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

Our ultrasound services allow our physicians to observe muscles, tendons, joint space, and soft tissues to look for early signs of arthritis or other diseases in the joints, cartilage, and soft tissues. Ultrasound also enhances the accuracy of injections and improves patient outcomes through a more precise and effective delivery.

Clinical Pharmacy Services

Medication regimens are often very complicated. We have a clinical pharmacist on-site via a partnership with the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences who can help you better understand your medications through teachings. Click Here to learn more about these services.

Skin Biopsy Services

Rheumatologic diseases are highly associated with clinical symptoms involving the skin, nails, and mucosal membranes. A skin biopsy can be an important and crucial diagnostic and prognostic marker. If a rash is suspected of being caused by a rheumatologic condition, we are equipped to evaluate the potential underlying condition and perform any necessary skin biopsy on site with no long waiting period.

Testimonials

I have been a patient of this practice for 28 yrs. and I feel that I am MOST fortunate to have received the very best care and treatment available. I have not enough words to express my appreciation, fondness and respect for Dr. Joel Kremer.

Dr. Toledo goes above and beyond for her patients. She treated me like a human being and not just another patient. She actually made eye contact with me, which so many other practitioners do not. I am very impressed with Dr. Toledo-Garcia!

I think Dr. Michaels is awesome. She spent so much time with me. She is really personable and not what I expected at all. Looking forward to seeing her again. I loved her tips!

I would recommend Dr. Shapiro and his nurse practitioner without any reservation whatsoever. I am extremely lucky to have Dr. Shapiro as my rheumatologist and that he has chosen over the years to continue to accept me as a patient. He is so professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and kind.

I would recommend Dr. Hausner to anyone. She is a wonderful doctor. She listens to me and responds to my concerns/needs. She is compassionate, caring and very good at her job.

Dr. Greenstein has been my rheumatologist for 30 years. I couldn't imagine where my disease would be today without his knowledgeable, kind intervention and treatment! He literally has given me my life back.

I have been very impressed with Dr. Faisal Chaudhary. He is very knowledgeable and willing to listen to and discuss complementary strategies as well.

I have and continue to recommend your practice to anyone looking for a rheumatologist. Dr. Cavaliere is very caring and really takes the time to listen and best of all really makes appropriate changes to help my overall pain level.

I will continue to recommend your office because of my excellent visit with Rhonda Murphy, RPA and I will continue to request her. I learned so much about my different problem areas from her. She was so informative. It really was one of the best doctor visits I've ever had.

I definitely would recommend the practice. I have been seeing Mari Kaymakcian for over 3 years now and she is very thorough and understanding of my problems.

Your new office is gorgeous, accommodating and so pleasant to visit! It makes having to go to the doctor a pleasurable experience.

Dr. Cosgrove and her team give me peace of mind dealing with our medical problems in such a calm, cheerful and highly professional manner.
